She was parched, exhausted, dressed in rags, and her hair was disheveled and plastered to her face.

Looking at the unfamiliar woman with a calm expression, Cui Niang felt nothing but despair and fear.

She never expected that after finally escaping from Black Mountain, another woman from the Ma family would appear.

At this moment, a cold voice rang out in front of her. Cui Niang was startled and subconsciously swallowed, then slowly turned around.

A woman with a graceful figure stood in front of her, holding a dagger and staring at her with icy eyes.

Cui Niang's eyes widened, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"

Ma Linghua's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile that sent chills down one's spine.

She said coldly, "The people who killed you, do you think you've escaped Black Mountain?"

A chill ran through Cui Niang. She tried to calm herself, staring intently at the woman in front of her, and said, "I don't have much of a grudge against your Ma family, yet you're doing this to me, and even trying to take my life? Are you out of your minds?"

Cui Niang roared loudly.

Ma Linghua gently raised the dagger in her hand, its blade gleaming coldly in the white light. "Hmph, are you out of your mind? This is your fate. Remember not to come to Black Mountain in your next life."

Cui Niang bit her lip, a stubborn glint in her eyes: "I'm not reconciled! There's always justice in this world. You killed me for no reason, you'll be punished!"

Ma Linghua burst into laughter, the sound echoing eerily in the empty valley. "Justice? What's justice worth in this Black Mountain? Don't make any more futile struggles. Besides, you're not even human! Killing you might even increase my merit."

Cui Niang took a deep breath and thought to herself, since she was going to die anyway, she might as well take a gamble.

She looked around and found a thick branch at her feet. She quickly bent down, picked it up, and held it tightly in her hand, assuming a posture of fighting to the death.

Seeing this, Ma Linghua's eyes flashed with contempt: "You think you can resist?" With that, she moved swiftly, like a ghost, and pounced on Cui Niang.

Cui Niang only felt a blur before her eyes, and before she could react, Ma Linghua's dagger was already stabbing in front of her.

She instinctively tried to block with a branch, but with a "crack," the branch was instantly severed. Startled, Cui Niang retreated hastily.

Ma Linghua pressed forward relentlessly, her movements swift and agile. Cui Niang dodged left and right, but she still suffered several cuts on her body, the blood staining her clothes red.

But she still didn't give up, desperately searching for Ma Linghua's weaknesses.

However, the two sides were vastly different in strength, and Cui Niang gradually became exhausted and her movements became sluggish.

Seizing the opportunity, Ma Linghua thrust her sword into Cui Niang's chest.

Just at this critical moment, a sudden gust of wind howled past, whipping up a cloud of water mist.

As the mist dissipated, a man in white appeared before Cui Niang. He held a folding fan and with a gentle wave, deflected Ma Linghua's dagger.

Ma Linghua's expression changed, and she shouted angrily, "Who are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business!"

The man in white smiled slightly and said, "When you see injustice, you should naturally help. Why must you be so ruthless and take the life of this innocent woman?"

Ma Linghua sneered, "She's innocent? What do you know? She's going to die today, and it's only right that I slay the demon!"

The man in white frowned and said, "Even so, we should give her a chance to explain herself, so she can die knowing why."

Ma Linghua was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, then I'll let her die knowing why. Cui Niang, do you still remember the village next to Black Mountain?"

Cui Niang looked bewildered: "The village? I don't understand what you mean."

Anger flared in Ma Linghua's eyes: "You've turned my Ma family's house upside down, don't you understand? My pots, pans, clothes, and all that stuff, you dare to do it but not admit it? Humph! Don't worry, I'll make sure you leave without a care in the world."

Cui Niang was stunned. She never imagined she had ended up at the Ma family's house. "No, this is impossible, I didn't go to that village..."

"Even now, you're still trying to deny it!" Ma Linghua was furious and raised the dagger again.

The man in white quickly said, "Miss, I believe what she said. You shouldn't have killed someone without asking any questions. You can't do that now."

Ma Linghua hesitated for a moment, then slowly lowered the dagger in her hand. "Alright, then I won't kill her. I plan to send both of you to the afterlife together."

Two beasts trying to reason with a sorceress who catches ghosts and demons? Are they out of their minds?

Cui Niang collapsed to the ground. The white-robed man's expression changed. How could this be? Did she see something?

"Look at you, a white wolf and a butterfly, do you two think I didn't notice?" Ma Linghua rolled her eyes.

"Pear Blossom, get started."

"Good milk."

The man in white was shocked. There was another person? How could that be? He hadn't even sensed them.

Cui Niang hid behind the man; now, she only had one man to rely on.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, and the universe borrows its power." Ma Lihua shouted softly!

The greatsword at his waist was drawn, causing the entire sky to change color. The white-clad man's face was gloomy. Without saying a word, as Ma Lihua charged at him with her sword, he transformed into an eight-meter-long white wolf and turned to run away with the speed of the wind.

He... has no chance of winning.

Ma Hehua will now utterly destroy this treacherous old tree, leaving him completely annihilated.

"Pah! You eat my food, drink my water, and you're helping outsiders? Why don't you just fly to the moon? My arrival means my mother is here too. You don't actually think that butterfly demon can escape, do you?" As she spoke, she stepped on the old tree that had turned to ash.

"What... what's wrong with this old tree? Is it possessed?"

"Hey! They thought they were some kind of old man from the Black Mountain, that they had some influence, but look what happened, they're all gone now."

As the matchmaker watched Ma Hehua leave, she squatted down on the ground. If she wasn't mistaken, the butterfly demon was controlling the old tree. Who would have thought! This woman could be so cunning and ruthless that no one would know.

This butterfly demon must have some skills, but unfortunately, she can't control the Ma family's abilities.

Ma Hehua rushed towards where her mother was when suddenly a white wolf came running towards her.

Without a word, her muscles bulged, and she clenched her fist and struck the wolf's head hard.

"Boom! Bang!"

The white wolf was stunned by the beating. After a moment, he stood up and looked at Ma Hehua, who looked like a female gorilla. He was dumbfounded. "A monkey spirit?"

"You beast, give me your life!" Ma Hehua immediately threw a few punches.

The white wolf winced in pain. "Is this guy crazy? Why did he hit me?"

He never expected that Ma Hehua was in cahoots with the two women behind her; he only felt that Ma Hehua might be a chimpanzee spirit.

Ma Hehua; "…………………………"

You'll see if I hit you or not.
